Grace at Home No. 405


We've made it to December! Can you believe it? What a year this has been, but now we're drawing to the end of it.

I pray that your Thanksgiving was a good one. If you follow me on Instagram, you may have seen that our Thanksgiving was very low-key: just my husband and me and our two younger sons, gathered around our outdoor table. But we surely were thankful to be together. 


Just this week I read somewhere "the days of the old school blog link-up are past." I suppose in some circles that's true, but I'm very grateful you're here for the Grace at Home party, because I still believe that it's worthwhile to celebrate all the ways we make our homes places of grace.

Here are some highlights from our last time together.

Want a simple way to help you get into the Christmas spirit? How about making a hot chocolate bar? Marty from A Stroll Thru Life shows you how. 


If you're stumped for Christmas gift ideas, I heartily recommend the gift of cash—especially this year. Want a great way to give a cash gift? Paula from Sweet Pea provides free printable envelopes to hold your present!

If you're stuck at home and want to make some homemade Christmas decorations, try this beautiful ornament from Helen at Hello Sewing. She gives you detailed directions for every step!


If you just want to look at someone else's Christmas decorations and be inspired, you must pay a visit to Debbie of Debbie-Dabble Christmas. Debbie is the kindest soul, and absolutely loves decorating her home for Christmas. This is one space in her craft room; there's so much more to see!


If you find that you need a little something to lift your spirits during Advent, check out this "Treat Yourself" Advent calendar basket created by CoCo from The Crowned Goat. She gives you step-by-step instructions for making your own. 




Last but not least, if you're struggling through a really tough time right now, you'll be blessed by this post from Donna Reidland: How to Trust God During Tough Times.


Thank you to everyone who joined our last party! 

Now for today's party.  Here at the Grace at Home party, I invite you to link posts about
  • DIY projects
  • decorating
  • recipes
  • hospitality
  • homemaking tips
  • parenting
  • marriage
  • faith
  • self-care
  • soul care
Whatever you do to make your home a place of grace, I'd like to hear about it.  Here's what I ask of you.  Please include the permalink to your post, not your blog's home page.  Please let people know that you've linked up.  No more than three posts per person, please.  Note that if you link a post here, you are giving me permission to share your post, including a photo.  And visit at least one of the other party participants--that's what really makes it a party, and during these difficult times, it can really make someone's day!

You are invited to the Inlinkz link party!

  3. Richella, thanks so much for featuring my post, "How to Trust God During Tough Times." You are a blessing! And I agree, I hope you don't give up you "link up." I always enjoy seeing what others are doing to make their homes warm, cozy, welcoming, beautiful and Christ-like. And I always enjoy finding a new recipe or two!

  10. i do hope that the days of the old-school blog link up are not past. I like instagram for some things but I like the prose that is possible with a blog. It’s sort of like skimming through headlines or reading an actual story.

  15. Omg I Finally Got Helped  !! I'm so excited right now, I just have to share my testimony on this Forum.. The feeling of being loved takes away so much burden from our shoulders. I had all this but I made a big mistake when I cheated on my wife with another woman  and my wife left me for over 4 months after she found out..  I was lonely, sad and devastated. Luckily I was directed to a very powerful spell caster Dr Emu who helped me cast a spell of reconciliation on our Relationship and he brought back my wife and now she loves me far more than ever.. I'm so happy with life now. Thank you so much Dr Emu, kindly Contact  Dr Emu Today and get any kind of help you want.. Via Email emutemple@gmail.com or Call/WhatsApp +2347012841542
